Can CIR really happen this year?

Some have speculated that the timeline for CIR probably looks like this: Sen Chuck Schumer introduces a bill in February or March, Senate debates it for several months, then maybe, after the mid-term elections, musters the courage to vote on it.

According to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, CIR comes after climate change, financial regulatory reform and a permanent estate tax extension.It's hard for one to believe that after a widely expected bruising mid-term election, the Dems would bring on another controversial topic that's bound to invite more criticism.

I'm not very optimistic.
